Markos 4
1 Guero berriz has cedin iracasten itsas bazterrean: eta bil cedin harengana gendetze handi, hala non bera vncira sarthuric, iarriric baitzegoen itsassoan: eta populu gucia itsas costan leihorrean cen.
Once again He began to teach beside the sea. And a large crowd was gathered to Him, so that He got into the boat and sat down, out on the water, while the whole crowd was on the land, at the water's edge.
2 Eta iracasten cerauen comparationez anhitz gauça, eta erraiten cerauen bere doctrinán,
Then He began teaching them many things by parables and said to them in His teaching:
3 Ençun eçaçue, Huná, ereillebat ilki cedin ereitara.
“Listen! Yes, a sower went out to sow.
4 Eta guertha cedin ereitean, partebat eror baitzedin bide bazterrera, eta ethor citecen ceruco choriac, eta irets ceçaten hura.
And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Eta berce partebat eror cedin leku harriçuetara, non ezpaitzuen lur anhitzic: eta bertan ilki cedin, ceren ezpaitzuen lur barnetassunic.
Some fell on the rocky area where it did not have much soil, and it sprang up quickly because it had no depth of soil.
6 Baina iguzquia goratu cenean, erre cedin: eta ceren erroric ezpaitzuen, eyhar cedin.
But upon the sun's rising it was scorched, and because it had no root it was withered up.
7 Eta berce partebat eror cedin elhorri artera, eta elhorriac handi citecen, eta itho ceçaten hura, eta etzeçan fructuric eman.
And some fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and smothered it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 Eta bercea eror cedin lur-onera, eta eman ceçan fructu goratzen eta handitzen cenic, eta ekar ceçan bihi batac hoguey eta hamar, eta berceac hiruroguey, eta berceac ehun.
And some fell into the good ground, and coming up and growing it started to produce fruit—yielding thirty times as much, sixty times as much, even a hundred times as much.”
9 Orduan erran ciecén, Ençuteco beharriric duenac, ençun beça.
Then He said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
10 Eta bera cela, interroga ceçaten haren inguruän hamabiequin ciradenéc, comparationeaz.
But when He was alone, those who were around Him, with the twelve, asked Him about the parable.
11 Eta erran ciecén, Çuey eman çaiçue Iaincoaren resumaco secretuaren eçagutzea: baina lekorean diradeney comparationez gauça guciac tractatzen çaizte:
So He said to them: “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the Kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, everything is being given in parables,
12 Dacussatela ikus deçatençat, eta eztaquizquión ohart: eta dançutela ençun deçaten, eta adi ezteçaten: conuerti eztitecen eta bekatuac barka ez taquizquién.
so that: ‘Seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; so that they should not return and their sins be forgiven them.’”
13 Eta erran ciecen, Eztaquiçue comparatione haur? Eta nolatan comparatione guciac eçagutiren dituçue?
Then He said to them: “Don't you understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?
14 Ereilleac hitza ereiten du.
The sower sows the Word.
15 Bada hauc dirade bide bazterrera hacia recebitzen dutenac, ceinétan ereiten baita hitza: baina ençun dutenean, bertan ethorten da Satan, eta kencen du hayen bihotzetan erein cen hitza.
These are the ones where the Word is sown along the path: as soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the Word that was sown in their hearts.
16 Eta hauc dirade halaber leku harriçuetara hacia recebitzen dutenac: eta ençun dutenean hitza, bertan bozcariorequin recebitzen dute hura.
Similarly, these are the ones sown on the rocky area: as soon as they hear the Word they receive it with joy,
17 Eta eztute erroric berac baithan, baina iraute gutitaco dirade: guero heltzen denean tribulationeric edo persecutioneric hitzagatic, bertan scandalizatzen dirade.
but since they have no root in themselves they are temporary—when oppression or persecution comes because of the Word, they quickly fall away.
18 Eta hauc dirade elhorri artera hacia recebitzen dutenac, hauc dirade, diot, hacia ençuten dutenac:
And these are the ones sown among the thorns: they hear the Word,
19 Baina mundu hunetaco ansiéc, eta abrastassunezco enganioac, eta berce gaucetaco guthiciéc barneraric ithotzen dute hitza, eta fructu gabetzen da. (aiōn g165)
but the worries of this age, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the undue desires for other things come in and smother the Word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 Eta hauc dirade lur onera hacia recebitu dutenac, ceinéc hitza ençuten baitute, eta recebitzen, eta fructu ekarten, batac hoguey eta hamar, eta berceac hiruroguey, eta berceac ehun.
And these are the ones sown on the good ground: such people hear the Word, welcome it and produce fruit—thirty times as much, sixty times as much, even a hundred times as much.”
21 Erran ciecén halaber, Ala candela ekarten da gaitzurupean, edo ohapean eçar dadinçat? eza candelerean eçar dadinçat?
Also He said to them: “The lamp is not brought to be put under a box or under a bed, is it? Is it not to be placed on its stand?
22 Ecen ezta deus secreturic aguerturen eztenic, edo estal ahal daitenic: baina campora ethorri behar da.
For there is no ‘hidden’ that may not be exposed, nor has anything been concealed but that it should come to light.
23 Baldin nehorc ençuteco beharriric badu, ençun beça.
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
24 Guehiago erran ciecén, Gogoauçue cer ençuten duçuen: cer neurriz neurturen baituçue, neurturen çaiçue, eta emendaturen çaiçue, çuey ençuten duçuenoy.
Then He said to them: “Pay attention to what you hear. With the same measure you use it will be measured to you in return; and to you who hear, more will be added.
25 Ecen duenari, emanen çayó: eta deusic eztuenari, duena-ere edequiren çayó.
Because whoever has, to him more will be given; whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
26 Guehiago erraiten çuen, Iaincoaren resumá da, guiçón hacia lurrera egotziric gau eta egun lo etzaten eta iaiquiten liçaten baten ançora.
He also said: “The Kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter the seed on the ground
27 Eta hacia ilkiten eta hatzen licén, harc ezlaquiala nola,
and should sleep and get up night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how.
28 Ecen bere buruz lurrac fructu ekarten du, behin belhar, guero buru, guero ogui bihi bethea buruän.
All by itself the earth produces fruit: first a shoot, then a head of grain, then full grain in the head.
29 Eta aguertu denean fructua, bertan guiçonac du eçarten iguiteyá: ceren prest baita vztá.
But as soon as the grain is ready, he sends in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
30 Guero cioen, Cer irudi duela erranen dugu Iaincoaren resumác? edo cer comparationez comparaturen dugu hura?
Again He said: “To what shall we compare the Kingdom of God, or with what sort of parable should we illustrate it?
31 Hura da mustarda haci bihibat beçala, cein lurrean ereiten denean, baita lurrean diraden haci gucietaco chipiena:
It is like a mustard seed, that when it is sown on the ground is the smallest of all such seeds,
32 Baina erein den ondoan, goratzen da, eta berce belhar gucietaco handiena eguiten da: eta adar handiac eguiten ditu hala non ceruco choriec ohatzeac eguin ahal baititzaqueizte haren itzalean.
yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden herbs and produces big branches, so that the birds of the air are able to rest in its shade.”
33 Eta anhitz hunelaco comparationez tractatzen cerauen hitza, ençun ahal ciroitenaren araura.
It was with many such parables that He was speaking the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
34 Eta comparatione gabe etzayen minçatzen: baina appartean bere discipuluey declaratzen cerauzten gauça guciac.
But apart from a parable He did not speak to them; privately, however, He would explain everything to His disciples.
35 Eta erran ciecén egun hartan, arrastu cenean, Iragan gáitecen vraren berce aldera.
On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.”
36 Eta populua vtziric har ceçaten hura vncian cen beçala: baina berce vncitchoac-ere baciraden harequin.
Since He was already in the boat, they took off with Him, leaving the crowd behind (other little boats were also with Him).
37 Orduan altcha cedin haice buhumba handibat, eta bagác sartzen ciraden vncira, hala non ia bethatzen baitzén.
Well a strong cyclonic wind came up, such that the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling up.
38 Eta hura vnciaren guibeleco aldean cetzan lo bururdi baten gainean: orduan iratzartzen dute, eta diotsate, Magistruá, eztuc ansiaric ceren galduac goacen?
But He was on the poop deck, sleeping on the cushion; so they awakened Him and said to Him, “Teacher, don't you care that we are perishing?”
39 Eta iratzarri cenean mehatcha ceçan haicea, eta erran cieçón itsassoari, Ichil adi, eta gueldi adi. Orduan cessa cedin haicea, eta tranquilitate handi eguin cedin.
Then, having been awakened, He rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Shut up; be muzzled!” So the wind stopped and there was a complete calm.
40 Eta erran ciecén Cergatic çarete horrela icior? nola eztuçue federic?
And He said to them: “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
41 Eta ici citecen icidura handiz: eta erraiten çuten elkarren artean, Baina nor da haur, haiceac eta itsassoac, ere obeditzen baitute?
They were terrified and started saying to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!?”
